When you think of New York City, you probably imagine bright lights, busy streets, and that world-famous skyline – however, Captain Tom LaCognata is here to show you a whole other side to the “Big Apple.” Join him on board Rockaway Fishi

I owned and operated a 35’ Duffy for 7 years before downsizing my operation. I’ve commercial-fished for giant Tuna from the Outer Banks, NC to Gloucester, MA. I’ve fished for Striped Bass in New York City my whole life. When you book a trip with me, you get the experience you pay for.

Our captain runs a safe and fast fishing machine Everglades 290. This 29’ center console can fit 6 guests and has the latest gear, tackle, and electronics to put your crew on the fish. It uses twin 225 HP Honda engines and outriggers and features an ice-box and a livewell. Of course, the boat is equipped with all the coast guard safety gear and also has an enclosed bathroom.

Capt. Jerry will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 4 to 12-hour trips, mainly fishing for Bass, Bluefish, Seabass, Scup, Shark, and Tuna, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as bottom fishing, trolling, big game fishing, drift fishing, jigging, and kite fishing.
